ROC-NY does more than just fight the restaurants that take the ‘low-road'. In 2005, ROC-NY organized the New York City Restaurant Industry (NYCRI) Roundtable, a regular convening of restaurant owners who take the ‘high-road' to profitability, setting the trend for integrity, respect, and good working conditions in the New York City restaurant industry!

Through the NYCRI Roundtable, workers, owners, and city agencies came together to produce the New York City Restaurant Owner Manual, a 60-page manual on restaurant owners' legal obligations to their workers.

Because of the NYCRI Roundtable, the City agreed to publish and distribute the Manual to restaurant owners every time they seek to obtain a license from the City. ROC-NY was also able to work with the City Department of Small Business Services to offer free monthly training to restaurant owners on the Manual.

Currently, members of the NYCRI Roundtable are signing on to a ‘Code of Conduct' that will allow ROC-NY to promote them to conscientious consumers.

 

 Steps to Becoming a NYCRI Roundtable Restaurant

First, you will meet with a NYCRI Roundtable representative who will guide you through the Code of Conduct.

  • If your restaurant meets all the requirements set forth in the Code of Conduct, you are eligible to sign on to the Code and join the NYCRI Roundtable.
  • If your restaurant is not currently eligible, a NYCRI Roundtable representative will help you satisfy the requirements of the Code so that you can join the NYCRI Roundtable at a later date.

Once you have signed on to the Code of Conduct, a plaque will be presented to you at a celebrator gathering with your workers and NYCRI Roundtable partners where we will announce that your restaurant is a NYCRI Roundtable Member.

You will meet with all the members of the NYCRI Roundtable to discuss progress, satisfaction, and continued commitment to the principles of the Code.
